Honey lemon chicken is one of my favorites. To clarify, it’s a combination of two of my favorite recipes: honey chicken and lemon chicken. As a result, it’s no wonder that it’s a favorite of mine.

Crispy Honey Lemon Chicken

Imagine battered chicken fried to a crispy goodness and doused in a sweet honey and lemony sauce. Certainly, the thought of it is enough to set my mouth watering.

Cook’s Tips

• The easiest way to fry the chicken is to use shallow frying.
• So, you don’t need a lot of oil. Just fry the chicken over medium heat until they become crunchy and crispy. On the other hand, it takes longer, but the result is rewarding.

This recipe is so easy to make, and has such a delicious result.

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
